The 4 Major Problems You’ll Face With Clogged Gutters
In today’s post, HutchCo Home & Bath talks about four of the major gutter and roofing issues you might encounter if your gutters aren’t properly protected or cleaned.
Blockage
Gutters aren’t there to make your life miserable. Rather, their purpose is to properly allow water to flow from your roof and away from your home, but they can easily get clogged up by wind-carried debris, pests, dry leaves, tree limbs, and other objects. Neglected, the debris may bring about major gutter and roofing problems, and even cause foundation damage.
Deteriorating Wood
The deterioration of wood due to the clogged gutters would ultimately lead to rot, or an infestation of termites, which love softwood. We can help you with minor or major roof repair if it comes to that, but we encourage you to protect your gutters to prevent these problems.
Damaged Landscape
The blockage in your gutters and downspouts may cause water to spill out of the sides of your gutters, especially during strong rains. The heft of the spilling water may destroy plant beds and other parts of your landscaping.
Roof Leaks
Your gutters can only hold a certain volume of water. In colder areas, that water in the gutters may freeze, helping the formation of ice dams. Water blocked by an ice dam will eventually back up and seep through the shingles, creating leaks.

I highly recommend Carolina Gutter Helmet in Greer S.C. They did an excellent job on my bath tub to shower project. It was 1 and a half day completion. Very professional and courteous staff .The tare out and install was expedient. They cleaned up and took away all that wad needed. Call them for a job that you need well done. I love my new shower.
We had a full size retractable awning replaced due to tropical storm Helene and another awning installed in its place within a couple of hours. Great job and I would highly recommend Carolina Gutter Helmet for any of your awning needs! Thank you again!
We ordered a Sunsetter Awning from Carolina Gutter Helmet. The sales person was knowledgeable about the awning and was very pleasant to deal with. The awning was installed 4 weeks later and it only took them 2-3 hours to finish. We received cookies in the mail a few weeks later thanking us for our business. The people at Carolina Gutter Helmet are experts at customer service. We are very pleased with their service and the awning.
I had a tub to walk in shower conversion. What they did was more than I expected. The installers were total professionals and they did a beautiful job. They walked me through everything and cleaned up before they left. Total satisfaction on my part.
